Biography:
BERNARD J. ZUEHLKE, register of deeds at Appleton, Wisconsin, for the past fifteen years, and a well known citizen and popular public official, was born in Hortonia, township, Outagamie county, Wisconsin, January 1, 1867, a son of Julius and Augusta (Schmidt) Zuehlke, natives of Germany, who came to the United States in 1855 and settled in Hortonia township. Julius Zuehlke was a soldier in the Union army during the Civil war, was the operator of a grist mill for many years, and served as register of deeds from 1880 until 1887. He and his wife had a family of seven children, as follows: Bernard J.; Otto, residing in Appleton; Martha, who married Augustus Scherk, of Montana; August and Arthur, residing in Montana; Alma, who married Paul Noies, a resident of Appleton, and Alma, who died at the age of four years. Bernard J. Zuehlke received his education in the public schools, and his first employment was as a clerk under his father. Later he learned the telegraph business, and during the next eight years was employed by the St. Paul and Northwestern Railroads. In 1894 he became deputy register of deeds under D. A. Kenyon, serving in that position two years and then being elected to the office of register, which he has held to the present time, the longest continuous incumbency of that office since its establishment. His services have been of undoubted value to the city, for the advancement of which in all respects he has an earnest desire, and his earnest and conscientious work in discharging the duties of his office have won him not only the support but the respect and esteem of his fellow citizens. Mr. Zuehlke is a Republican in politics, and is fraternally connected with the Knights of Pythias, the Eagles and the Elks, in addition to being a popular member of the Harmony Club. He is interested in the Riverside Greenhouse. With his family he is a consistent attendant of the Lutheran Church. On September 30, 1893, Mr. Zuehlke was united in marriage with Miss Margaret Heiss, of Appleton, daughter of Thomas and Margaret Heiss, and to this union there were born eight children, of whom five survive: Flora, Mildred, Grace, Margaret and Eileen, of whom Miss Flora is attending high slchool, while the others are students in the graded schools of Appleton.
